This is just what I want. An 8 inch tablet with LTE, has call and SMS capabilities and bezel narrow at the sides. Resolution is acceptable. I just hope the battery will last long enough to be used as a cellphone.

lindle777, 27 May 2013Yes, I agree that Apple specs are better but iOS just sucks.This tab got released in India. Sports a quad core processor with S pen. Costs around 30,000 Rs. Tablet details specify model as N 500 and comes only with android 4.1.2

This tablet is just what I want! I love those thin bezels! Will buy it as soon as I can. Those crying about the specs should go buy the Note 8. This is a budget tablet with enough features to satisfy the average user like me. You can't get all those high-end specs at a low price. I have also checked that this tablet is just about the same size (though a bit longer) than the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus which I also own but can't carry about. Perfect for holding in one hand while using. Have been looking for an iPad Mini sized Android handset. This is it! Thank you Samsung.
